    [$] An update on GCC BPF support

    Date:
    Wed, 02 Apr 2025 15:47:39 +0000

    Description:
    Jos Marchesi and David Faust kicked off the BPF track at the 2025 Linux Storage,
    Filesystem, Memory-Management, and BPF Summit with an extra-long session on what
    they have been doing to support compiling to BPF in GCC. Overall, the project is slowly working
    toward full support for BPF, with most of the self-tests now passing using Faust's in-progress patches. However, the progress toward that goal has
    turned up
    a number of problems with how Clang supports BPF that needed to be discussed at
    length to find a path forward for both projects.
